I don't know why having an opinion on this has any relevance to what the NTSB report will finally conclude.
The published documents are interesting and for all of the things that you say don't matter or are irrelevant, namely age and flight time, they are exactly the things Leeward exaggerated.
Now I don't know why you would at 72 years of age hand write your age as 59 as he did in 2009. You can say age is irrelevant but clearly he didn't think so.
Then flying time - why is that hard to find? Don't you just look at your log book and copy the number?? What's with the 13500+? Any pilot can give theirs to a decimal place!
The final report will be interesting.
